Any chance Thea will be the Canary? she seems to have the potential.
And Steph, I miss the salmon ladder and exended parkour scenes.
I miss Oz. He'd get it. He wouldn't say anything, but he'd get it.

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Wouldn't she just be Speedy? Mia Dearden ("Dearden" being Thea's middle name) was the last Speedy in the comics (or the last Speedy I read pre-new 52).
And don't think I didn't notice that the gardener referred to Thea as "Mia" when he told Ollie she was working at the cafe. So signs point more to Speedy. Hell, she already has the name.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if she was going by Mia Dearden.
I think they're pretty clearly setting Laurel up to become Black Canary. Though I'm annoyed they felt the need to make Ted Grant young and attractive instead of a grizzled old fighter, likely so he could be a potential love interest.
ETA: I will say it's odd they felt the need to emphasize Sara's years of training in an episode that showed Roy taking down armed soldiers with his fists and Thea being a pain-immune bad ass swordswoman when they've only had about a year and 6 months training, respectively.

Better him than Ollie.

Well, this is happening:
I'm at a different office today so I'm just listening in on the conference line. Yowza!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
All the stability in the world to you, Jess.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Extended promo for The Flash next week: [link]
That flower pattern skirt Felicity is wearing in the first scene! I need it in my life.
I would never in a million years want to take Felicity away from Arrow, but tonally, her character seems a better fit for The Flash universe, even from that 30 second promo.

Well, I don't work for the channel, and my department probably won't be too affected. But roughly a third of the office will probably be working for AMC in 6 months.
